Chapter 102 River Mud Makes Money, Miracle of Healing
Several times because of poor supervision and maintenance, chickens and ducks rot caused discarding and losses, even people can't eat, dividends and monthly deductions are a headache, and the waste that occurs in front of you is even more unacceptable.
After leaving the slaughtering yard, Zhu Da's expression was calm, everyone looked a lot more relaxed, and a smile appeared on Zhu Shishi's face.
If you first come to this "riverside new village", you will think that this side is composed of a large courtyard, and you can only see the courtyard wall from the outside, but only after you go to this side will you find that there are other regulations, you can see some low houses here, adults are afraid to bend down and bow their heads when entering and exiting, and around the house is a large circle of fences, which extends to the river, and what is even more surprising is that the fences and fences are even pierced into the river, and the surface of the river is also densely packed.
On the west side of the courtyard near the riverbank, there were two small doors, and there were a few sturdy women and women busy outside the doors, and from time to time there were young men and girls carrying baskets outside, and the baskets were full of poultry eggs.
After coming here, Zhu Shishi patted Zhu Da's shoulder and said with a smile: "At dinner, you two masters and Qingyun will come to the house for dinner." The others clasped their hands into fists, and they all said hello and left.
Only Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun walked towards the courtyard, and the few mothers-in-law in front of the door were not so respectful, and they also smiled and greeted them to let them in.
The building regulations of "Riverside New Village" are not common, especially this kind of high-walled compound connected to the block, the military people in the four miles and eight towns, and even the townspeople of Zhengjiaji, are used to the houses that are much shorter, which makes the people working here even more uncomfortable, and the sense of depression is inevitable, even Zhu Da is the same.
But after entering this courtyard near the river, it immediately became relaxed, after all, the fence is not an impermeable high wall, this yard is connected with the river surface, although there is also a fence on the river surface, but at first glance it looks like an open and transparent, the mountains and rivers on the opposite bank seem to be part of this courtyard, in this situation, there is a previous contrast, people's mood will naturally be good.
The summer is fine, the green mountains and clear water are indeed a beautiful scenery, and it would be even better if there were not so many ducks quacking and the smell of excrement.
The riverside is a grass nest and a sandy beach, of course, there is no such terrain by the Shami River in the past, this is to facilitate the ducks to lay eggs and activities to do, at that time there were a lot of rumors, not to mention people who read jokes, but after seeing the effect, they were shocked to drop their jaws.
There are more than 20 boys and girls patrolling this side of the river beach, the teenagers are covering their mouths and noses, using small shovels to shovel the excrement into a special basket, so many ducks produce a lot of excrement every day, duck manure and the like are dirty, but it is a very valuable fertilizer, the manure is piled up in other places, and then transported to Baibao Village and Xiama Village Fertilizer Field, other villages also come to beg, then it costs money or takes things to exchange.
When this rule was first established, more than one person chanted, saying that "the Zhu family even has to do business with defecation", but after seeing the growth of the fields of the Zhu family and the Xiang family and Li Zongqi's family, everyone knows that this business is uncomfortable, but it still has to be done.
When a year passes, no one complains, looking at the harvest of their fields, everyone wonders whether to get more next year, or go to the mountains to open up some wasteland, this day can go to the next level.
"In addition to this drowning business, the business at the bottom of the river is also done, this is the God of Wealth boy down to ......", this is also the words of the villagers, at first the Zhu family used the same fertilizer as them, but later switched to the river mud under the river section of the duck river, which looks black, but the fertility is stronger, the original Zhu family's field can only be said to be medium, but in the past two years it has been a good fertilizer.
Discussion and gossip is a trivial matter, but everyone also knows that the river mud is fertilized, several ditches around Baibao Village and Xiama Village, as well as those semi-abandoned canals, have become sought-after goods, and the villagers have cleaned them up, and the silt inside is naturally used to fertilize and turn over the fields, which has the associated benefits, after the silt is cleaned up, the ditches are smooth, and it is conducive to irrigation.
The fertility has increased, the irrigation has kept up, and the harvest in Baibao and Xiama villages has really risen sharply, and the villagers are all cheering, plus the income from working in the "new village", according to the old people in the village, "it seems that the New Year is in a good year".
No one has forgotten that these two villages are the hundred households fort of Datong Zuowei, and they will not forget it after the harvest is good, and the thousand households and the commanders are worried about it in the first year, but these two villages have a show talent and a patrol face, it is really not easy to be ruthless, and the village itself has armed forces, dozens of young and strong men have a formation, holding sharpened and hardened wooden guns that have been stained, and they are not easy to get along.
Datong Zuowei did not have much confidence to come hard, originally nearly 100 horseback riders in the guard, but Yang Xiong got a real position in the army, in order to be able to sit still and sit firmly, in addition to bringing his own armed forces over, he also vigorously recruited horseback riders in the guard.
All the young and strong elites who can fight well have a little bit of thoughts in their hearts, and they are not willing to be some thugs who urge rent and deceive people, but they can follow them to serve in the army, and they can go to the front of the battle to fight for fame and wealth, this is what they want.
As a result, as soon as Yang Xiong went to take office, most of the horseback riding family that Datong Zuowei could really fight left, and the rest were not brave enough to enjoy it, these people bullied the usual hundred households in the village, and they were powerless to deal with Baibao Village, which has been grouped and backed, not to mention that there are scholars and local tyrants behind them, and the generals of Datong Zuowei have not completely digested the private salt business, so they just let it go.
This method of combining the "production team" and the "supply and marketing cooperatives" is not worth mentioning in Zhu Da's more than 20 years of life, but it is extremely advanced in this era, which is equivalent to igniting the fire of "market economy" in this lifeless Datong Zuowei and Huairen County, or the original faint and negligible flame is burned, and the prosperity of Zhengjiaji has made Huairen County and Datong Zuowei both benefit.
The guards and the county officials have all gained such and such benefits in this prosperity, and they have barely achieved a win-win situation, and considering the spikes behind this piece of fat, everyone just watched its existence.
Of course, no one has the idea of fattening up before starting, but no one thought that Zhu Da's industry would grow so quickly, and while his strength would increase, there were some rumors that made many people suspicious.
There is also a very important reason, Qin Xiu has just passed thirty years old, for scholars, he is still very young, and he is not only afraid of him because he is a showman, although there are very few readers in Datong border town, and more importantly, Qin Chuan is still possible, the township test once every three years, the triennial examination, he still has a lot of possibilities on the road to Qingyun and wealth, and now that he is offended, what disasters will be in the future, no one can say.
The scruples about young scholars are not only in Datong Border Town, but also in the entire Ming Dynasty, reasonable people will think so, as for those characters who have not seen the light, the rumors that have been absent over the years are enough to deter them.
There are the most girls in this big yard, they are either taking care of the ducks, or picking up duck eggs, and some are preparing food, which is also the reason why other people do not follow into the yard, there are too many women here, quite inconvenient places, although the poor and remote places do not pay attention to etiquette and defense, but they are not indifferent.
The girls and teenagers all saw Zhu Da, the people who were working couldn't greet each other, bowing and bowing their heads was enough, Zhu Da didn't care about their etiquette, he and Zhou Qingyun glanced at each other, and they both felt strange, but the people who should come to greet them didn't see it.
The yard where ducks are raised is managed by Zhu Da's mother Zhu Wang and Li Zongqi's daughter Li Chunhua, every time Zhu Da comes, the two of them will greet each other warmly, and the Zhu family's mother and son have a deep affection, needless to say, everyone can see the Li family's daughter's intentions very clearly.
However, no one thinks it is strange, even the Zhu family's parents and Li Zongqi's family have intentionally or unintentionally matched, after all, for the Zhu family, Zongqi is a noble family, and for Li Zongqi's family, there is indeed no better son-in-law than Zhu Da within a radius of 100 miles.
Li Chunhua looked down on Zhu Da very much, but in the past few years, her parents and brother have been constantly complimenting, and she has had a lot of contact with Zhu Da in business and private affairs, and her good feelings have slowly developed.
Zhu Da didn't have much thought about this girl, otherwise she wouldn't have dealt with it generously, but Li Chunhua was much healthier and more lively than her peers, and had a natural vitality, which made Zhu Da have a good impression of her, but that's all, his attitude also caused another misunderstanding, and many people believed in this misunderstanding, and many people in Zhengjiaji and Baibao Village guessed that Zhu Da might want to marry Qin Qin.
From a utilitarian point of view, marrying a young and wealthy only daughter must be much more beneficial than the third daughter of the general banner, not to mention that there is really a bit of a childhood sweetheart between Zhu Da and Qin Qin, the reason why everyone did not sit down, because Qin Xiucai did not express his position, from the same utilitarian point of view, Qin Xiucai married his only daughter to a low-level military household, although this military household is quite talented, it is not cost-effective.
How outsiders guessed, Zhu Da didn't bother to pay attention, he felt that he hadn't yet thought about it, and now Zhu Da was just wondering why he didn't see the person in charge here.
"Auntie, where are they? Isn't that Master Yuan? As a shooter, Zhou Qingyun's eyesight is very good, and he immediately found out.
Hearing this, Zhu Da was stunned, and said in his heart, Yuan Biao, didn't Master Yuan drink the medicine and lie on the bed? How could he come here, following Zhou Qingyun's guidance, he saw that his mother and Li Chunhua were holding a person, and they were really similar to Master Yuan..... The two glanced at each other and ran over quickly.
"Master Yuan, why are you up?" When he ran to the front and back, Zhu Da didn't even bother to greet his mother, and asked directly in surprise.
It's really Master Yuan Biao Yuan here, and it takes two or three miles to come from Baibao Village to Hebian New Village, which is very simple for adults and children, but Master Yuan's cough can't stand anymore, how can he come over, what's even more strange is that the pale face of each old injury is actually very ruddy at this time.
"The scenery here is really good, it looks like some kind of paradise." Yuan Biao stood there and muttered, he was in good spirits at this time, and he didn't need to be supported.
After saying this, Yuan Biao turned his head and said with a smile: "I woke up just now, this body is ironed very much, I haven't been so comfortable for a few years, take advantage of the spirit to come out and take a turn, maybe this old injury is all healed." ”
Old wounds healed? That's a good thing, Zhu Da subconsciously became happy, and before he could speak, he saw that his mother Zhu Wang's expression was not quite right, although he also had an accommodating smile, it was easy to see that he was laughing by himself, but Li Chunhua, who was standing on the side and supporting, was a little overwhelmed.
"That's great......" Zhou Qingyun on the side cheered.
"When Master Yuan is well, Qingyun and I will accompany you to Datong for a walk, Uncle Yuan, don't you always talk about that over there, do you still have to go to the side pass to have a look?" Zhu Da also said with a smile.
Biguan is the land and water wharf of Shanxi, the intersection of land and waterways between Shaanxi and Shanxi, and also the garrison of the general army of Shanxi.
Yuan Biao shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "What are you going to Datong, I will lead you to the capital and Kaifeng, or go south along the canal." ”
Hearing Master Yuan say this, Zhu Da became excited, he has always wanted to see a broader world and learn more about this era, but he has no ability and capital to go too far, and he can't get out of it, but now it's different, with the well-informed Yuan Biao leading, then the road will be very exciting, don't worry about safety, you can gain a lot of knowledge, of course, now there is no shortage of silver in your hands, and the road will be very comfortable.
When he was about to say something, Zhu Da saw his mother glaring at him, from the beginning he felt that there was something wrong with his mother Zhu Wang, Zhu Wangshi is not a stingy person, to say that Yuan Biao's scar style will indeed make ordinary people afraid, but that was when he first met, and later became familiar with it and treated like Xiang Bo, Yuan Biao is well-informed, and he is a funny person, and he is very close to him up and down, why is it like this today?
Zhu Da glanced at Li Chunhua again, the girl looked at a loss now, Li Chunhua is a girl after all, her mind is very delicate, although she usually tries to get close to Zhu Da, but today she obviously realized that something was wrong.
What's going on?
In addition to being surprised, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, his mother's forced smile and the emotions hidden in his eyes Zhu Da saw that it was sadness and sadness.
Thinking about this, Zhu Da suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and grief and sadness welled up, what a miracle of healing is this, this is a return to the light!
“....... I want to go to the side wall and walk around......." said the old man with a smile on the side.
